Right edge of horizontal pics, bottom edge of vertical pics, every negative:
That means the leak is from the latch side, right? Man, I thought I had done everything right with my first attempt.
Advice? I must have misplaced the new latch edge seal ...

Wouldn't this be caused by a slow to close shutter curtain? I momentarily had an M3 that did this.

That is possible. I got this ST605 body for $20, figuring on seal replacement. Maybe it needs a CLA now that it has nice, new seals ...

The best camera is one that still works!
Shutter bounce maybe ... or dragging slightly as Mister E said!
Firing the shutter a few hundred times may sort it.
If it was leak it would extend to the sprocket holes ... if it's within the 24 by 36 frame it's the shutter.

Thanks. Glad to know the re-sealing was not pointless ...
